So here is a little update for the end of 2008! It’s been a rollercoaster.
A few less gigs than usual, but those I’ve played have been some of the most enjoyable ever – and each has had some of my closest friends in the room. Friends has been an important theme for 08 and I’ve learnt a lot about ‘agendas’ – and I’ve ended the year closest to the people I love. Here’s hoping that inspires some new songs!
Here are some little lists to inspire you…
Most Played Songs
1. Pinback – Penelope
2. Barcelona – Get up, Get up, Get up.

Hero of the year
Mr Balz Kubli
And what a strange years it was! A year when I found myself by leaving not joining. A year when I found my friends by walking away. A year when I found my companions were there all along. And a year that started poor-ly and ended rich-ly.
